Background: Hallux rigidus (HR) affects the first metatarsophalangeal joint and is the most common osteoarthritic condition in the foot. The most used surgical treatment for severe cases of HR is an arthrodesis. The aim of this study is to describe patient characteristics, surgical treatment and the patient-reported outcomes for patients treated with arthrodesis for HR using data from Swefoot, the

Det är av stor vikt att få en förståelse för vad sjuksköterskor upplever när patienten försöker begå suicid och vilket stöd de behöver för att klara arbetet. Syftet med studien var därför att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att möta patienter med suicidalt beteende inom psykiatrisk vård. Studien genomfördes som en litteraturstudie med induktiv ansats och innefattar åtta vetenskapliga artik

BAKGRUND: Kraven på sjuksköterskan ökar ständigt, vilket kan leda till en osäkerhet i yrkesrollen. Hur livserfarenheter har påverkat yrkestryggheten belyses i denna studie som tar avstamp i KASAM-teorin med begreppen begriplighet, hanterbarhet och meningsfullhet. SYFTE: Att belysa sjuksköterskors upplevelse av livserfarenhetens betydelse för yrkestryggheten. METOD: Sju sjuksköterskor inom somati

There is a growing number of wind turbines installed in cold temperature zones as a result of the restricted space for new construction. Due to ice deposition on the turbine blades, the increasing installation of wind turbines in freezing temperature areas presents many challenges: ice accumulation increases weight, unbalances the rotor, diminishes aerodynamic efficiency, and creates safety issues

We challenge extant conceptualizations of place as a context or object of consumption. In contrast to essentialist notions of commercial scapes and contested imaginaries, we bring forth a critical relational ontology and the concept of “dialectical utopianism” to advance discussions on place in CCT research.

This research study is based on the problematisation of criminal gangs’ development within Swedish society and its presence towards young Swedish individuals. Furthermore, the study was built on investigating changes that take place within legislations. This study’s research problem and purpose was designed to investigate whether mitigating circumstances within the Swedish Penal Code can result in

Time-resolved x-ray tomography enables us to dynamically and non-destructively study the interior of a specimen. The obtainable temporal resolution is limited by the x-ray flux and the desired spatial resolution. To allow faster acquisition speeds, we explore a deep-learning approach that applies super-resolution and image denoising to fast time-resolved tomograms. The domain translation algorithm

Background and aimsPrior studies have suggested that the benefit from primary preventive defibrillator treatment for patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy primarily, treated with cardiac resynchronization therapy, may be age-dependent. We aimed to compare age-stratified mortality rates and mode of death in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy who are treated with either primary preventive

As the threat from the climate crisis becomes ever more apparent and shows few signs of stopping alternative development models become interesting. Driven by an interest of examining such alternative solutions, this paper studies degrowth due to it being a challenging alternative to currently applied growth-based models of development that see progress as linked to economic growth. This paper exam

Efforts to address climate change through a just transition are critical, as they not only mitigate environmental impacts but also provide an opportunity to rectify existing societal inequalities. This study examines Denmark as a highly developed economy with an advanced welfare state to identify potential gaps and untapped potential in its green transition. By conducting a thematic content analys

The advent of globalization has emphasized the importance of effective internationalization strategies for Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies. This research seeks to explore the internal capabilities of FMCG firms, examining how they can be refined, developed, and utilized for more effective internationalization. The study fills a critical research gap by providing an in-depth understandi

I studien undersöktes associativ språkinlärning via Virtual Reality (VR) och jämfördes sedan med en mer traditionell ordinlärning via en datorskärm, för att se om det förekom någon skillnad i inlärningen mellan dessa. Syfte. Studien syftade till att undersöka om inlärning av ett nytt språk gynnas av associativ inlärning med flera av våra sinnen genom VR. Vår hypotes var att språkinlärning kan gynThe study examined associative language learning through Virtual Reality (VR) and then compared it to more traditional word learning through a computer screen, in order to see if there was any difference in learning between these two. Purpose. The aim of this study to investigate whether learning a new language benefits from associative learning, with several of our senses, through VR. Our hypoth

In the rapidly-evolving technological landscape of today, even established research and development (R&D) companies are struggling to keep pace with the demands of innovation. It creates difficulties for small-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with especially limited resources to maintain competitiveness within the market. This study argues that open innovation practices can provide a solution t

How can passionate love and burning hatred exist within the same social context, and how can fellowship and belongingness lead to violence between supporters? This study identified a lack of academic knowledge regarding a supporter perspective on the connection between fellowship within supporter culture and soccer related violence. Thus the purpose of this study was to explore why some supporters

Bees play a key role in maintaining healthy terrestrial ecosystems by pollinating plants. Stingless bees (Apidae: Meliponini) are a diverse clade of social bees (>500 species) with a pantropical distribution spanning South and Central America, Africa, India, Australia and Asia. They are garnering increasing attention as commercially-beneficial pollinators of some crops, yet their contribution to t
